Summary:

How does PerfectMail intercept Microsoft junk mail reports?

Answer:

Microsoft has provided an add-in for Outlook™ to allow you to report your spam as Junk using just one click. Using the Junk E-mail Reporting Add-in, PerfectMail is able to identify and immediately train your spam on your local PerfectMail server without you having to use the PerfectMail console.

The Junk E-mail Reporting feature integrates into Outlook 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013.

Assuming you are using PerfectMail as an outbound relay, the system can identify the Microsoft Junk Email Reporting messages. It can then identify the original incoming message in the local history and perform actions as if you had clicked the "Report Spam" links in the UI. PerfectMail can then either discard the message or forward it to Microsoft to assist with their spam filtering efforts.
